Breonna Taylor should be alive today. The lack of accountability for her murder has shown again that our approach to policing, like much in this society, does not value Black lives. If your heart and spirit are hurting today, our AFSC community sees you and stands with you.
We are committed to working in solidarity to address the sickness of white supremacy – and all systems of oppression. We will insist that our government and leaders in all walks of life work quickly and conscientiously toward racial justice and equity. And we will not rest until our society is transformed.
